Laek Of Gnnd sailors.
Boston Commercial Bulletin.

The careless way of doing work is now
common at sea. Ship-owners rarely or
never take apprentices, and yet expect TO
have their vesseles manned by seamen.
In Great Britain landsmen ship as deck
hands in steamers, and after few trips
come to this country and pass themselves
off as seamen on sailing vessels, without
being able to steer trick Mt the wheel,
reef or furl sale, or take cast of
hand lead. Is it strange that such men
should be harshly treatedl We have paid
some attention to the cases OF cruelty on
ship board, and in most cases incompe-
tence has been the cause. Rarely or
never has there been case of good
man-one who knew his duty and per
formed it--who com plains of bad treat
ment.
The British keep a record of seamen,
still keep up the apprenticeship system,
and are therefore less liable to be i'm
posed on than Americans. No wonder
that our shipmasters bound on long voy-
ages complain of the deterioration of
seamen. Not that the men are physic-
ally inferior to their predecessors, but
simply that they are ignorant and inso-
lent Our Government in this respect
has fallen back upon Tho principle that
to meet the wants of the navy it must in
struct its seamen as we'll as officers, hence
our school ships. Our naval powers pur-
sue the same policy, and their navies are
manned by the power of their young
men, who have trained from their boy
hood under the best instructors.
Our merchant service, excepting the
coasting trade, is at the mercy of the in
competent and too often insolent out
casts of Great Britain. Our best seamen
are Danes, Swedes, and Norwegians, who
havs been trained il their own countries,
and who have acquired knowledge of
our languages. These have come here to
better their condition, and are noted for
their intelligence, skill and obedience,
But even these have to encounter the
policy of the workshop TO a certain ex-
tent. II a man is prompt in the dis
charge of his duty, he is liable to be set
upon by the incompetent, and is &C
cused of trying 10 curry favor, and, were
it not that a ship is an imperative des-
potism, he would faTs badly. Strikes at
sea are mutinies in the eye of the law,
otherwise they would be as common as
on the land. There can be only one will
in a ship--lhe captain, and if he can not
preserve order, he is justly considered
incompetent and discht sed.

TAKEN FROM LIFE.
TRANCE Scenes in Humanity's
Comedy the World Over.
Buffalo Courier }


A party of deep-water gBabtist
held service off the Canadian riv'
ersbank, opposite the head of Green
Island, last Sunday. There were
some ten or a dozen converts, most
ly women. One of these was afraid
of drowning, rand she had her suit
lined with cork from neck to heels,
but she didn't say anything about
it. The service proceeded without
a hitch, and it came sister Jones'
turn to be immersed. The minis
ter wadcd out into the stream, lead
ing the sister by the hand and re-
peating the ritual When they
got waist deep sister Jones had
much difficulty in keeping her feet
on the bottom. and the deeper she
waded the more this trouble increas-
ed, but she didn't want to say any
thing.
All at once, however. the cur>
1T took her off her feet and threw
her lengthwise on the surface of
the water. Minister grabbed her
>1d tried to pull her under. The
'. rent was every instant dragging
her out. The minister clutched her
frantically at the fair convert, who
was herself struggling to assume an
upright position, but without sue
cess. The minister felt himself
getting out of his depth and scream
ed for help, but no one offered to
come out; the current was very swift.
The minister looked around and
saw that she was slipping rapidly
down the liver; he couldn't touch
bottom. With superhuman effort
he swung himself up and seated
himself on his fair raft and wildly
fourished his arms to the people ON
shore, who were now fading into
mere specks.
"This is horrible" said the min
lister, looking round on the waste OF
waters; Sin three hours we'll be over
the tails Sister Jones, let us sing
something in this trying hour"
Sister Jones, who had been emit
ting shrieks like steam calliope,
only shrieked the louder, and the
minister struck up in rich, trem~
ulOus tenor, "Rescue the perish
ing" He had hardly finished the
first stanza when steam yacht
hove in sight and bore down on
them in response to the gestures OF
the minister, and in fifteen minutes
they were rescued in an exhausted
condition. The clergyman is per.
haps thinking of becoming a Con-
gregationalist, while the young
convert is so back-slidden that fears
are entertained she will become an
infdel.
